Chapter 59: Breaking Through (1 more update)

→Primary Phantom White Kick ]

Boom!

The next moment, Fang Yu’s leg muscles slightly bulged.

The bones of the thighs and calves, already strengthened overall by the Primary Solid Foundation Technique, were further specialized and fortified.

If one paid attention, they would notice that the muscle lines on Fang Yu’s thighs under his pants had suddenly become much smoother and more natural.

Fang Yu could distinctly feel that his legs had become more explosive.

This wasn’t exactly what he needed for Qinggong, but since the explosive power of his thighs was increased, his running speed could also become faster, so Fang Yu was quite satisfied with it.

Moreover, it could be integrated with the Primary Solid Foundation Technique, which felt very comfortable.

His weakness in speed could now be compensated.

The rest was about investing attribute points to continuously enhance the effects.

"Not training anymore?"

Yuan Hongxin, who was nearby, saw Fang Yu suddenly stop moving, and thought Fang Yu had given up.

After all, why continue training if he had already mastered it?

Seeing that Yuan Hongxin seemed not to have noticed he had learned it, Fang Yu didn’t point it out.

"I’ll stop training for now."

For him, relentless training was pointless; it was better to kill some demons, gain experience points, and exchange them for attribute points.

However, Yuan Hongxin clearly misunderstood something and joyfully said with a laugh,

"Stopping training is good. With your aptitude, in this lifetime, you can only achieve something in those mindless, brute-force martial arts."

Fang Yu: ???

Do you really think my martial arts aptitude is that bad in your mind??

It seemed that Yuan Hongxin also felt that his words were a bit inappropriate, so he coughed lightly.

"Let me clarify, it’s your choice not to train. Strictly speaking, the reward period has ended, but... your case does seem a bit unfair."

"How about this, if you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask now, and I’ll try my best to answer them."

Questions about cultivation?

I hold the Shen Lan, with unlimited attribute points, what cultivation problems could I possibly have?

No!

Wait!

Fang Yu suddenly thought of something.

"Master, I’ve always been puzzled; I’ve been diligently practicing for so long, why haven’t I achieved a breakthrough yet?"

Right, this was Fang Yu’s doubt.

He was a distinguished low-tier Bloom level expert, with a hefty 632 health points.

Mastering one mid-tier Bloom level martial arts and two low-tier Bloom level martial arts, all with decent proficiency.

Isn’t my actual strength stronger than those underlings of Li Qianxuan? Why haven’t I broken through yet?

Fang Yu asked, absolutely justified and indignant.

But these words almost made Yuan Hongxin laugh out of anger.

"Ignorance! Such ignorance!"

"You’ve only just learned the Primary Solid Foundation Technique, and you think you’re invincible? You know your own aptitude—"

"In short, your current accumulation is still far from reaching the level needed for a breakthrough."

Is my accumulation really not enough?

I feel like I could kill those Tiger stance practicing seniors with one punch!

Fang Yu felt indignant.

"Then what should I do to advance?"

"What to do? Start with the basics. Study diligently, train your body, enhance your Qi-Blood..."

Oh...

Fang Yu understood.

The physique is key!

Fang Yu glanced at his own physique attribute.

Seems like... it has been stuck at 3 points for a long time?

Fang Yu felt awkward in his heart.

There was no helping it, attribute points could be used for Martial Arts, using them on physical prowess seemed such a waste.

A single point in Martial Arts showed immediate effects, whereas physical prowess only added so little.

Now that he was a monster with more than 600 Qi-Blood, he was even less concerned about the physical prowess attribute.

Now hearing Yuan Hongxin say this, it seemed... the physical prowess attribute still needed to be increased?

Fang Yu wondered.

"How much should physical prowess develop before one can breakthrough?"

"Feel it yourself; when you are close to a breakthrough during Martial Arts Training, your Qi-Blood will surge wildly, and you will feel a need to break through. At that moment, push hard, strike at the boundary, and you’ll likely succeed."

Saying this, Yuan Hongxin glanced at Fang Yu: "You are currently only at the beginner level of the Flower Stage, just at the starting line of Martial Arts, so as far as physical prowess goes, as long as you put in the effort, it can grow quite quickly."

"The difficulty lies in another requirement for breaking through."

Fang Yu immediately perked up his ears to listen.

He felt this punishment of standing in the hall was not about learning , but knowing how to break through domains.

Otherwise, he would have been blindly groping, not knowing what was needed for a successful breakthrough.

Luckily he hadn’t squandered his attribute points, which could now come in handy.

Seeing Fang Yu’s good attitude, Yuan Hongxin began to explain seriously.

"A Martial Artist’s strength is divided into two parts."

"One, physical prowess."

"Two, Martial Arts."

"As for weapons, hidden weapons, and other external objects, that’s another matter."

"If Martial Artists want to advance from the beginner level of the Flower Stage to the middle level."

"First, personal physical prowess must be refined to its current ultimate state."

"Using medicinal herbs or special training methods to fully stimulate the body’s Qi-Blood, and thereby tempering the body, enhancing physical prowess."

"When you reach the ultimate state, you will feel it."

"But ultimate physical prowess alone cannot help you achieve a breakthrough in realms."

"You also need the help of Martial Arts."

"To go from the beginner level of the Flower Stage to the middle level, you must learn at least three beginner level Martial Arts, reaching at least a ."

"Alternatively, specialize in one Martial Arts, advance it to level, and through repeated practice, raise this Martial Arts from the beginner level of the Flower Stage to the middle level, which is equivalent to mastering three lower-level Martial Arts."

"However, I do not recommend focusing on a single Martial Arts for enhancement."

"First, it tends to leave weaknesses, making it easy to be disadvantaged in confrontations."

"After all, multiple Martial Arts provide multiple methods."

"Second, this path requires talent."

"It might not be difficult to get started with one Martial Arts."

"But advancing it to is extraordinarily difficult. Without sufficient Martial Arts talent, one might never break through to a higher realm in their lifetime."

"Therefore, the easiest way for you to achieve a realm breakthrough is to learn three beginner-level Cultivation Techniques, master them to the entry-level, and then during this process, temper your physical prowess to the body’s utmost limit, and you can smoothly break through."

After this explanation, Fang Yu had an epiphany.

He immediately knew where his problem lay.

It was the physical prowess!

He had not increased his physical prowess attribute, so although his Martial Arts kept improving, even reaching the requirements for a breakthrough ahead of time, there was still no response.

Fang Yu hurriedly asked again without shame, and Yuan Hongxin answered one by one.

Soon, Fang Yu concluded.

To break through from the beginner level of the Flower Stage, two conditions:

Physical Prowess: Aim to increase as much as possible.

Martial Arts: Master 3 same-level Martial Arts or 1 intermediate-level Martial Art.

Clearly, Fang Yu had already fulfilled the Martial Arts requirement, even exceeding it.

Now, there was only one thing to do.

Increase physical prowess!

"Reflect on this yourself; the path of Martial Arts is still long."

Having spoken so much, Yuan Hongxin also felt a bit tired.

With a wave of his hand, he left.

Fang Yu watched him go, not saying anything.

His attention was already on the attribute panel.

Shen Lan, add points!
